GloFish 2.5 Gallon Corner LED Aquarium Kit

2.5 gallon tank makes a great habitat for tropical fish and it's ideal for Glofish and fluorescent fishEquipped with special LED lighting designed to enhance fluorescent colorsIncludes Mini-Might powerful filter with replaceable filter cartrdige

Cons:1. The light is not sealed and there is no plastic cover for the top. Condensation gets in the light. Like the other reviews this will cause it to break.2. Filter is loud for it's size

I ended up getting silicon gel and sealing the light edges myself. Will see how this holds up.

I also opened up the filter assembly and cut down the size of the blades. This quieted the filter down and slowed the current. With all 4 blades, this can cycle 45 gallons per hour, way too fast for a 2.5 gallon tank.

I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this tank for my daughter's glofish. The filter seems to be pretty good. If you keep the water level right near the top of the filter it remains quiet and does a good job breaking surface tension, but if the water level gets just a tiny bit lower it becomes much noisier. But what prompted me to write this review is the light. There's nothing good about it. I have it hooked up to a timer, but because it's an electronic switch on the light I have to manually turn it on each morning. It didn't take long before the lighting circuit started to short. It went down from 4 led lighting segments to 2, and now it is one. I took it apart to see what was going on. Inside it was corroding. The light casing is not water proof, so expect the LED lights to fail in under a year.

If this is your first time shopping for a fish tank, please read up on articles around the internet. Contrary to what you'd expect, the larger tanks are better for beginners.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There are so many things wrong with this tank.It makes me sick to know that people are going to think it's okay to put 4-6 "GloFish" (gentically altered zebra danios) in a tank this small. (FYI, they're a schooling fish, like to be in groups of five or more, and need at least 30 gallons).

But my daughter wanted this tank for a single beta fish. I gave in, and almost immediately regretted it.

The filter hangs off the back very loosely. It tips forward, side to side... but I thought, whatever, we'll just be careful not to bump it. A week later, the "moon light" burned out. Okay, whatever, the blue light and the natural one are still fine, and those are the two she likes to use. Two days later the natural light was gone, and a week after that, the blue light died. I've searched online for a replacement, and contacted the manufacturer, to no avail.What a waste of money!

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice tank apparently for larger fish! My husband gave me this tank for Christmas. We went and bought 6 GLO FISH. And later that night the fish were sucked into the slots on the filter....and obviously dead!!We figured larger fish were in order....so 2 Angel fish and 4 Silver tipped tetra.......were sucked in again! The fiwsh were lodged half in and our of the front slots on the filter. This is an FYI
